I’m obliged to you for your kindness, and there are no words to show you my appreciation.
I will pass by the hospital this morning to meet the doctor and to see my baby.

I will keep you updated

A million thanks to all of you :heart:

Oh lord..I hope you will find another vet immediately a complete blood panel must be done and even perhaps hydration and being handfed high protein/complex formula...
Please hurray...Full blood panel and ALSO please have your vet do a "THREE DAY TEST" for GIARDIA...not one dropping but three; one each day for three days..
Please keep us updated!!!
Dee and her flock praying for you all!

Dee, thank goodness, she did find another vet, with the help of an AA member, Gayla, and her grey is hospitalized now.

OH DANITA>..how wonderful...if anyone speaks with her and they are not finding the problem would anyone who is close to her please ask her to mention to her vet, the three day Giardia test? Sure would appreciate it as these symptoms are often experienced at the early onset of a serious Gidardia infection which can be controlled and even cured in most cases!!
Thank you so much for the update.

Hello everybody

Thanks all for your concern and sorry for being late to update you with what happened lately.

I went to the hospital to see my bird "Mato", he was better than when he was at home BUT he is still not that good:(. In other words, his body is still shaking and he is not eating by himself till now. The vet told me that they still force him to eat as well as drink.

Mato suffers from other problems:
1. An organ in the immune system (I forgot the name of that organ) is enlarged; which is not normal.
2. The white blood cells are infected ( the cause is a virus)
3. Still very anemic despite the tries of helping red blood cells to reproduce


Mato is under medications and antibiotics >> However, the good results are not shown yet in the last blood test which was done today. His body is not responding to the medications.

The vet suggested that it is better to take a sample from the liver in order to test it. He added that it would be very expensive since they have to send that liver sample to South Africa because birds' hospitals in Dubai do not make such a kind of test.

If Mato has some liver issues, can you ask your vet if he is familiar with using herbs, such as Milk Thistle? Also Aloe Detox is very good to rid the body of toxins. I would ask him if he has ever used either of these items. I hope Mato can beat this problem. Continued prayers coming your way.
